Military defaulters and criminals of yesteryear may have quivered in their pants at this colonial-era building some 50 years ago. But what was once a military court in a former barracks has been turned into a chic, almost unbearably cool craft cocktail bar where the only trial is the number of sophisticated cocktails you can down in succession. Part of the massive South Beach hotel revival of the area, the look in this re-developed heritage building is a mix of sexy dark drapes and industrial concrete and metal touches, centred around a gorgeous metal bar where you can get up close and personal with your boozy executioner as he does contemporary twists on classic cocktails, perfect alongside small plates and bar bites infused with local flavours. It’s all about updated heritage here at Court Martial Bar, so make a reservation today because there are no summons here! (Dec 2016)
